Ever bought some anime that was almost dirt cheap that it made you say "I made an amazing purchase today!" I just made a good one. (Gotta realize it's in CDN funds, so stuff is slighter more than US.)
I heard my friend buy the first 4 volumes of the Sailor Moon manga (Japanese) for only $3 each and I was so surprised! Somethign so rare for a cheap price...
Now in my video store they have a bit of an aniem section and I discovered one day that the .hacks were gone (first 4 volumes). Today I found them all in the sales bin for $9.99 each! Regular price for ONE in this country is around $45 I believe... then I foudn out they were actually 2 for $15 so they were all purchased for about $36! Best anime buy EVER in my books!
...ever got a deal that was almost too good to be true?

I got the first volume of Princess Nine for 5 bucks. That was a pretty good deal. And, um-- oh yeah! I got the first four volume of Miracle Girl for $15. I'd say those are probably the highlight.

I got Rurouni Kenshin manga for $8.51, but that's normal with Shonen Jump stuff. I also found one of those Ruroken DVDs for only twelve bucks. Normally it's twice that where I am.

Battle Athletes OVA for $3 each at Suncoast.... Suncoast!?
Like Mangafanatic, the first volume of Princess nine was also a good buy for me-- about $9. Not too shabby.

Wal-Mart has been starting to sell the Ruroken series DVDs around here for about $13 each. They're up to Shadow Elite and False Prophet, but they haven't changed sice SEPT! ARG! I want Flames of the Revolution (which would be one of the next two they'd be putting out)!

$15 for Cowboy Bebop's Best Collection from WalMart. Usually I don't shop the evil empire, but this was worth it. ^^;
And I'm glad I got a second copy of Matantei Loki volume 4, 'cause they had extra pictures of Heimdall in the Blade Comic version. >D

Mine was probably a volume of Sailor Moon SuperS at Wal-Mart that was selling for around $7.
Of course, Right Stuf is the best store for getting great box set buys on a regular basis!

$5 bucks each for Cowboy Bebop manga... one was a bit ripped but I don't care...
Buy one get one free manga at my local comic store...got Immortal Rain vols. 3-4 there.
$100 flat for Witch Hunter Robin Complete dvd collection...with the little collector pins (with Amon! Yay!)
Ghost in the Shell SAC dvds for 20 bucks each at Kmart. I like Kmart. They sell Ghost in the Shell. 20 bucks for any anime dvd for me is cheap. Most of the time they're at least $25 or else they're crap
